Wearing the legendary number 7 shirt at MU is always pressure for every player and Mason Mount is no exception, but this player is not afraid of the pressure.

Mason Mount shares about shirt number 7

This summer, Mason Mount arrived at MU amid fans’ expectations. The former Chelsea star did not receive the familiar shirt number 19, because Varane received this shirt number. MU’s board of directors did not hesitate to give Mount the team’s legendary number 7 shirt.

Since Ronaldo left MU, not many players wearing the number 7 shirt of MU have achieved success as expected. Even some of MU’s “disaster” contracts recently also wore the number 7 shirt, such as Depay or Alexis Sanchez.

Mason Mount has not had a good start with his new team and it is not surprising that doubts began to appear around this player’s ability. Mount understands that, but the former Chelsea star is not worried about the pressure of having to wear MU’s number 7 shirt.

Sharing with talkSport, Mason Mount said: ” Of course I know the pressure of wearing the number 7 at MU. I grew up loving players like Beckham. Pressure is inevitable, but that’s it.” It’s also something I like to have.

I want to show my best in this shirt. MU is a great team and number 7 is a legendary shirt number here, so being awarded the number 7 shirt means a lot to me.”

Mason Mount also shared his thoughts about the early stages of playing for MU. The player born in 1999 revealed: “I had a good start, in terms of integrating with my teammates and understanding the philosophy that the coach wants to apply to the team.

I learn from the players around me, learn how they play. I want to improve my performance but that will take time.”
